Performance Evaluation of the New Alliance ICT Challenge Fund

The evaluation assessed the progress of the NA-ICT CF (or “programme”) with respect to its two outcomes: (a) increased use of quality inputs and improved technologies by smallholder farmers, and (b) increased financially sustainable ICT-enabled services to complement other extension services. For learning purposes, the evaluation sought to gain insights, within the context of the NA-ICT CF, on what does and does not work in scaling up ICT-enabled extension approaches through working with the public and private sectors.
